So the Dodgers blew it. Again. How many years does this make? And all we have to show for it is that 2020 World Series that, when I look back on it, really wasn’t the same thing as winning it all after a normal season. Yeah, I’ll still say that winning in 2020 was a … Continue reading The Dodgers Choke

NLCS Game 6
Well…that sucked. Big time. I know that the Dodgers haven’t won the World Series except once in the years since I started following the team, but that’s what you hope for your team at the beginning of every season. And, with the Dodgers this year, there was plenty of reason to hope. They won it … Continue reading NLCS Game 6
NLCS Game 5
That was obviously more like it. But I’ll admit it: like just about anyone else watching the game last night, seeing Freeman get that homer and the having Kelly (who’s been great all season) go down worried the fuck outta me. I just didn’t have the feeling that we could do it the way we … Continue reading NLCS Game 5
NLCS Game 4
Ok, so yesterday I told Jacob that you should never leave a baseball game before it was over. After all, “it ain’t over ‘til it’s over” was first said by a ballplayer, and Tuesday’s game proved the saying. And then last night happened. Both me and Jacob were ready to turn the TV off before … Continue reading NLCS Game 4
NLCS Game 3
That felt like the longest 4 hours and 14 minutes of my life. Especially the 3½ hours in the middle where the Dodgers were dead in the water and couldn’t get a run in to save their souls. There was that great Lux double play in the top of the 1st, then it got eerily … Continue reading NLCS Game 3
The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
What do the Dodgers think they’re doing – besides trying to lose the NLCS? Losing Saturday’s game was okay, I reckon. If you’re gonna lose a game in a series, the first one is the best one to lose, although that gives the other team the momentum coming into the second game, which then becomes … Continue reading The Braves Walk Off. Twice.
A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
The boys were only in their second week of school when Robert surprised me by saying that I was gonna get to take the boys to Dodger Stadium on the night of September 1…Robert somehow knew that it was Corey Seager’s bobblehead night, and also somehow knew that I really like Seager as a player, … Continue reading A Visit to Dodger Stadium with the Boys
Keaton Comes for a Visit (last part)
Keaton came over on Friday to hang out and use the pool for the first time. We had a chill morning together and were spending the afternoon with the boys. After BP and plenty of sliding practice, we all got in the pool and had a plain ole great time in the water. We splashed … Continue reading Keaton Comes for a Visit (last part)
World Series Game 6
They did it. The Dodgers won the World Series. It took 3 trips in 4 years, but they finally did it. And, for me, it’s the first time that a major league team I’ve been behind has won the World Series. I remember the years when the Smokies almost made their way to a championship … Continue reading World Series Game 6
World Series Game 5
That was more like it. The game was exciting but not too nerve racking…except when we got to the last couple innings and I was terrified – along with the rest of Los Angeles – that Roberts was gonna send Jansen in. I read on the internet – so it probably isn’t true – that … Continue reading World Series Game 5
